Train your focus, reflexes and memory with Brain Games — a growing collection of quick, bite-sized games, each built around one simple idea and a ticking clock. 100% OFFLINE. All nine games play with zero wifi, zero data and zero loading screens — not even the tutorials need a connection. Sign in only if you want leaderboards and achievements. It started with Connect Colors, a puzzle based on the Stroop Effect. A colour word appears, printed in a different colour. Your brain wants to read one and see the other — you have to pick the right one, then draw a line from the centre to the matching circle before time runs out. The better you play, the shorter the timer gets. CONNECT COLORS • Text to Color: read the word, ignore the ink. GREEN printed in red means the green circle. • Color to Color: read the ink, ignore the word. GREEN printed in red means the red circle. • Each mode has its own leaderboard and its own best score. • Earn badges as your line count grows, from Novice all the way to Guru. GESTURE GAMES — PLAY WITH YOUR HANDS, NOT YOUR THUMBS No tapping. Your phone's camera reads your hand in real time and you answer by showing a sign, all processed on your device — nothing is ever stored or uploaded. This isn't AR or VR, just your hand as the controller. • Hand Signals: a colour is called. Make its hand sign before the bar runs out. • Word Signals: the colour's name appears in plain white. Answer with its sign. • Stroop Signs: a colour word in the wrong colour. Sign the colour it's printed in. • 1-2-3: triangle, rectangle, circle. Answer with one, two or three fingers. • Zone Hunt: a colour word in the wrong colour, shown over your own camera picture. Reach for the circle it names — your hand is the cursor. TAP & SOLVE • Sliding Jigsaw: a picture in pieces, one tile missing. Slide the tiles back into place, then send your solved picture as a challenge for a friend to beat. • Shape Hunt: one shape lights up — find it in a heap of shapes, turned and half-hidden, before the sixty seconds run out. • Shape Weave: a weave of cells, no two alike. Count the sides on the lit shape and fill the matching cell — three wrong taps and it unravels. WHY YOU'LL KEEP PLAYING • No connection, no problem: every game works offline, on a plane, underground, anywhere. • Easy to learn, hard to master: most timers get shorter as you improve. • Nine games, each training a different skill: focus, inhibition, reaction, recall, aim, mental rotation and visual search. • Track your best scores and history in every game. • Compete on Game Center leaderboards and unlock achievements when you're online. • Share your result card with friends and challenge them to beat it. • Left-handed? Most of the gesture games have a left-hand option. • Built-in tutorials walk you through each game — turn them off once you know the rules. WHAT IS THE STROOP EFFECT? When a word names one colour but is printed in another, your brain slows down. Reading is automatic, so it fights with what your eyes see. Psychologists have used this effect for decades to study attention. Here it becomes a game that rewards a quick, focused mind. How long can you keep up before the clock wins?

Lusus
Read full descriptionHide full description
Lusus is a reverse memory game where the twist is simple: instead of tapping the shapes you memorized, you must spot and tap the one that wasn’t shown. Sounds easy, until the clock starts ticking. You can also compete with friends in multiplayer mode. The rules are straightforward: memorize the shapes, find the odd one out before time runs out, and build your streak. Make a mistake, and your streak resets, so stay sharp.
